Baby Feathers

A friend of ours is having a baby ... what better reason to make a quilt! They had a couple of ultrasounds and after asking them a few times to make sure I was assured that it's a girl. Ok ...

I saw this gorgeous red/orange/pink/yellow batik and fell in love with it right away. PERFECT for a girl. I put it together with a pink patterned background and designed this quilt. I love love love quilting feathers ... both in applique and quilting ... so I incorporated it into the entire quilt. The dragonflies add a little bit of fun and extra color to it. It's all done by hand, with multicolored variegated thread used in the quilting.

It was a big hit at the shower, everyone loved it. All I can say is, it better be a girl!

Who is ScrappyBlue???

I am a professional quilter living in Vancouver, BC. I am also a survivor of 14 years of severe domestic violence. When I say "severe" I'm not being dramatic, just honest. But I survived and have since been dealing with PTSD and all that it entails. Although PTSD is life changing, I know from experience that it can be managed and hopefully even conquered to a point as long as I'm diligent in my self-care and accept support when it is offered and helpful. Quilting keeps me focused and busy enough to remind me to look to the future; my work here is not done.
